At this point. Mr. Free asked the secretary to pass round his peppermints, and to stop being such a——. Then, joyfully sucking peppermints, the exec, continued their meeting.

Mr. John Cody was officially appointed editor of the Literary Issue of "Salient." and another motion was passed making him responsible to the editor of "Salient" proper. Mr. Calvin commented on the psychological effect of the editor on the staff. The possibility of publishing an Orientation Handbook was referred to the Finance Committee meeting on Tuesday evening. July 21. The need for this booklet was stressed, and it remains to be seen whether the finances of the association can stand the cost of about 2000 per year to be distributed to the senior forms of the main secondary schools in this area. The College Council may possibly be willing to assist in the matter of a subsidy in this matter. At the present time, the Unison officer. Mr. Hogg, has been distributing a mediocre brochure, sponsored by the council, but its format is both unattractive and uninformative on the affairs of most interest to potential freshers.

The gym controller. Trev. Turner, is to be congratulated on his enthusiasm and industry in having the electrical fittings in the gym attended, and it appears that there is no need to have the place re-wired. Electric light globes, however, are continually disappearing from the gym. Mr. Galvin suggested that Mr. Turner stay in the upper gym at nights equipped with "sleeping bag and shot-gun to [unclear: protect] public property. The caf report was presented by the Caf Controller. In which it was stated that the caf would continue to serve meals on Friday nights, and the people in charge did not appreciate the following: noise, people who flick matches there, and again, noise. Why was Diana Lescher blushing?

The next item was a motion by Miss Lescher, who had regained composure, reading as follows:

"That the City Council's permission be sought for students to take up a collection for charity during Procesh next year."

Messrs, Beaglehole and Terry supported an amendment substituting the words "Overseas Student Relief" for "charity." This amendment was lost 5/8. The original motion was carried. 8-4.

A motion supporting amendments to the N.Z.U-S.A. Tournament Constitution were moved by Mr. Chatwin and were subsequent carried. The new rules will, if carried by N.Z.U.S.A. at Auckland in August, enable the best team to gain the most points irrespective of size.

Tim Beaglehole: "The best college always wins."

Trev. Turner: "Yes, don't we?"

Liaison officers for the various affiliated societies and clubs were posted, and secretaries should now know who their Exec, representative is. The purpose of these appointments is to enable clubs and societies to use the executive as pawns.

N.Z.U.S.A. delegates appointed were: Miss Elaine Foote and Messrs. Beaglehole and McCaw.

Blues Committee: Messrs K. F. M. Uttley. M. O'Connor. D. Tossman and Miss B Young.

Mr. Calvin was requested to place "Femina" in the women's common room. The dud electric light on the path leading past the gym to the Little Theatre has been the cause of more Varsity romances than any other factor, not excluding the exec, meetings

Last matter—which may be called curtains for Curtin, the Misses Thorn and Lescher were allocated three pounds to buy some material of a pleasant nature for making into a curtain for the Exec. room
